SOCIETY NOTES.
The. LAnten Season Puts An End to
Elaborate Gaiety-The Week.
" Report.

As the Abbott Opera Company gave per-
formances Monday and Tuesday evenings
and q Tuesday matinee, it made the first
part Of the week seem quite gay. Since
then the quiet OF tho penitential period has
cast it's veil over society, and where a few
weeks since all was gaisty and mirth, 81
lence rsigns. All through the gay season,
from the early autumn until Ash Wednes-
day morning parties, balls and conquests
have filled the minds of society bellies. The
season is principally observed in Catholic
and Episcopal Churches, but these two
churches exercise so strong an influence in
the social life OF every city that Lent is
practically q season OF vacation in society,
and balls and parties are destined to be
few in number during the next few weeks.
We are supposed to cast aside all thoughts
bordering on festivity and pass the forty
days and nights in pious contemplation.
Whether this will be done or not remains
to be seen. Last year quite q number of
entertainments were given, but SO far the
announcements are not so numerous. still
some parties will doubtless spring up and
keep those who will indulge in them quite
busy, It is probable that many glad
~ welcome the rest after the winters
dissipation, but perhaps before
the restrictive season is over they viii be
complaining, and after the novelty Of de-
cided rest has worn of, will set themselves
to work finding amusements not too gay
to indulge in. Many society people looked
tired, and not q few toilets showed the sea-
sons wear and tear. Lent began SO early
this year that there will be time for numer-
Gus festivities before the summer months.
Several engagements have been announced,
and the preparations OF wedding trous-
seaus will occupy quite a number during
these Lenten days. English ideas are now
followed in fashionable weddings. Instead
of a retinue of gentlemen equal in number
to the bridesmaids, the groom selects a
"best man." who arranges all the business
and social formalities for the wedding. In
vitations are now engraved upon one sheet
of paper, separate cards for the bride and
